Unable to use azure SDKs with python

[jeffhollan]

Created a vanilla HTTP function (works):

import logging

import azure.functions as func

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:
    logging.info('Python HTTP trigger function processed a request.')

    return func.HttpResponse('Hello', status_code=200)

I then installed the Azure SDK

pip install azure

When I try to reference one of these SDKs it throws errors for naming conficts

import azure.mgmt.compute
import azure.mgmt.network.models
import azure.mgmt.storage.models

[7/25/18 8:30:37 PM]     import azure.functions  # NoQA
[7/25/18 8:30:37 PM] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.functions'

I need a bit more context please. How was the python worker installed?

[jeffhollan]

Just following the quickstart here

[jeffhollan]

Link didn’t work but it’s the “create function via CLI” one

[elprans]

Which version of core tools are you running?

@ahmelsayed can you confirm that we do not use the development mode install for the python worker (pip install -e) in the core tools script?

@jeffhollan what is the version of the core tools you're using? Can you also share your requirements.txt file?

[jeffhollan]

Tested this on latest func cli and it's working now so can close. As any FYI my requirements.txt when not working had this:

-e git+https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-python-worker.git@57a4dda497c4cde83288f010fef490ff9a42edb7#egg=azure_functions_python

But now has this

azure-functions==1.0.0a1
azure-functions-worker==1.0.0a3

I actually ran into this reference to GitHub too, had issues when publishing when this was still in the requirement.txt file. Wrote something about it here, where I was struggling as well.

Maybe someone can explain why it is setup like this and not just a normal reference as Jeff says here as well?

Update: Apparently this is already changed in the latest version of the cli. Just created a new function and my requirements are now listed as:

azure-functions==1.0.0a1 azure-functions-worker==1.0.0a3 grpcio==1.12.1 grpcio-tools==1.12.1 protobuf==3.6.0 six==1.11.0

@rvanmaanen thanks for blogging about this! Just ran through your post and most of the rough edges you ran into earlier should now be fixed. Let us know about your experience when you give it a shot next. Happy to connect further on any feedback and recommendations you might have :)

PS Python on v2 is not yet officially supported hence it's not mentioned on the docs. We're treating the feature as still in-development.
